The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will be hosting three public meetings throughout the state to discuss the effect on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) on deer populations and how the agency is battling the disease.

CWD was first documented in Illinois deer near the town of Roscoe in 2002. It is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of deer which has now been found in Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Lake, Ogle, Dekalb, Kane, DuPage, LaSalle, Kendall, Grundy, Will, Livingston and Kankakee counties.
